According to this wiki page I should be able to specify a button for exiting emulators on recalbox. I followed the directions and used putty for Windows and logged in as root. I copied the text on this page:

https://github.com/recalbox/recalbox-os/wiki/Enable-Gpio-button-to-close-emulator-with-only-one-button-press

However after pasting and entering the text, I get no prompt or script that allows me to specify which button I want to use. After pressing enter I get this message:

/recalbox/share/sys 100% [=========>] 635 --.-KB/s in 0s
Starting button

Then it just shows the command prompt (#).

I'm guessing the link in the text is no longer valid?

Any help?

I just realized that this might be in the wrong forum.

There are a lot of fake SanDisk cards out there. Have tried testing the cards with a counterfeit program?

Nevermind. I swear this always happens with me, I post a question and as soon as its submitted my issue goes away.

The only thing I did was to swap HDMI ports. I don't know why that would change anything as I original booted with it in the opposite port. I also now realize that the left port is the one closest to USB C plug but when using the NES case the actual USB C plug is on the other side via a daughter board.

I have a pi4 2GB using a retroflag NES case. I downloaded and installed the latest version of recalbox using the pi imager program onto a known working micro SD card (SanDisk 32GB). The HDMI cable is plugged into the port closest to the USB C plug.

When I turn on the pi I can hear the fan running and the power led is on but I get absolutely no activity on the screen.

What could be the possible causes?

Any reason for the blog not showing any updates? The home page shows 7.1.1 is out but I usually like reading the blog to see what's new/fixed.

I’m not sure where to post this but I was just curious, now that pi has released a 64bit version of the pi4, how does that affect updates to recalbox (or emulation on the pi in general)? With its release there will also be a 64bit OS along with it, is porting trivial or is it like starting from scratch?

Lastly, what is the overall plan/strategy going forward for supporting 32bit and 64bit pi’s?

Thanks

I'm trying netplay again and I feel I'm doing everything right but I have yet to be able to connect to anyone.

I'm using 6.1.1
No intro rom sets
I've tried manually setting port forwarding on my router as well as using upnp.
In the netplay lobby it will show a compatible game and give me a green checkmark along with other games that aren't compatible.

If I try connecting to a host (samurai showdown V for example), it goes to a black screen before eventually saying failed to initialize netplay and then it loads the game.

I've tried hosting a game and it says "you've joined as player 1". Also the nickname "nick" shows up everytime no matter when I try.

If I go to canyouseeme.org it doesn't show the ports as open no matter how I have configured the router.

In the recalbox netplay settings I've tried both none and new york in the mitm option.

What am I doing wrong?

@paradadf said in Exit emulator with sn30 pro?:

@ivwshane that‘s called L3.

I figured it out. The default is start + left analog button (as in pressing the stick into the controller).

I’m sure this is a stupid question but I cannot find the answer.

I’m using an sn30 pro with recalbox 6.1.1. It paired incredibly easy and I didn’t configure any of the buttons.
On my generic snes wired controller that I also did not configure, to exit one would press but the start and select buttons. This does not work despite all other buttons seemingly to be mapped similarly to the generic snes controller.

The short version:
How do I exit an emulator on a sn30 pro with default settings?

@Zaphod

Thanks for the link but it looks like the files need to be uncompressed first. The batch file will help as far as automating the process once everything is uncompressed. I think I’ll transfer everything to my 2tb nvme drive first to make this going even faster.

@paradadf

Interesting, I didn't know CHD was an option. Do you happen to know if I can go from zip to CHD without uncompressing the files first? The zip files contain bin/cue files.
